Pheasants in Deep Snow Face Predation and Hunger
Deep snow in southwest Kansas exposes ringneck pheasants to hawks owls and coyotes while hindering food access. Locals Shari and David Woelk at Barrel Springs Hunt Club note birds by roadsides as agronomist Alan Schlegel and others warn of highway fatalities and field losses from a blizzard two weeks prior. Wildlife officials say stressed birds may struggle for weeks without food and lack of cover compounds danger through February.
